Several high- ly touted elevens were given brisk battles, but no startling upsets occurred. Yale. Harvard and Princeton opened their seasons with easy victories over weak opponents while the service elevens, Army and Navy, triumphed. Army won handily from Knot College, but the Navy was pressed by Willlam and Mary. In the big game of the Midwest Northwestern defeated Nebraska and in the outstanding tussle of the Southern Conference Van- derbilt barely beat North Carolina. Notre Dame, without the ben- efit of the tutoring of the late Knute Rockne for the first time in & decade, found Indiana an easy proposition. Out on the West Coast St. Mary’s, which opened its cam- paign with a victory over South- ern California, followed with a win over California.
